Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The intentional violence from Koquillion in Episode 10 (explosion) sets a precedent for the hostile environment the Doctor and Ian face in Episode 11, where danger manifests in new forms (gunshot, dying cry). This escalation of threat is central to the suspense across episodes.
